Former FBI agent confirms IRS whistleblower’s claim: Bidens received advance notice of investigation.
A Former FBI Agent Corroborates Whistleblower’s Claim on Hunter Biden Investigation
A former FBI agent who played a crucial role in the investigation into Hunter Biden has come forward to support a major claim made by whistleblower and IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley.
In a closed-door session with the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on July 17, the unnamed retired FBI supervisory special agent provided testimony that has now been released to the public. The 65-page transcript of the testimony confirms the allegations made by Shapley that President Joe Biden’s transition team was informed about the FBI’s plan to interview Hunter Biden.
“I was refreshed by the testimony of supervisor No. 2, and I believe he’s correct. I believe I – you know, and now getting into the frame of mind, I know I was upset when I learned about it,” the agent told lawmakers.
Not only was the transition team notified, but the Secret Service, responsible for guarding Hunter at the time, was also warned. The former agent justified this action, stating that it was reasonable to inform the Secret Service about the FBI’s intention to interview Hunter.
When asked why he was upset, the former agent explained, “I felt it was people that did not need to know about our intent.” However, he could not recall the specific individuals on the Biden transition team who were informed.
Furthermore, the former agent revealed that he and Shapley were instructed to wait for a phone call from Hunter Biden to proceed with the interview. However, that call never came, and the interview never took place.
Two IRS agents who collaborated with the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the investigation into Hunter Biden’s finances and overseas business dealings have also raised concerns about political interference in the case.

Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the lead case agent on the Hunter Biden investigation and a 13-year veteran of the IRS, expressed their concerns to the House Oversight Committee in July.
“I have witnessed the corrosion of ethical standards and the abuse of power that threaten our nation. It is within this context that I have chosen to shed light on these actions and expose those responsible. I recognize that while I was present at the start of this investigation and was closely involved with the investigation for roughly five years — that I am just a part of the story,” Ziegler testified at the time. “My aim is to address systemic problems that have allowed misconduct to flourish. It is not a call for blame but a call for accountability and reform.”
